do you need to / can you refill the liquid cooling on the r9 295x2?

No, it is a closed loop cooler like one for the CPU. It is maintenance free.

I had this on my i5-4690k running at stock speeds and it was hitting mid 60s under max load. Unless you are trying to make an ITX build I would highly recommend you just stick with liquid cooling.

Yes. Just be sure to clean off the default thermal paste/pad on the cooling block before applying it.

The card is a little long because of the three fans however it fits in my mid tower case(rosewill challenger). It's snug but it fit without a problem. Not sure about the liquid cooling I don't have one.

Yes it does come with pre-applied thermal paste on the sink with fan included. you can always clean it off and use your own thermal paste but why? the cooling is sufficient. under heavy load when i play games, it never goes over 60C. just make sure your case has good cooling and/or airflow. it may get hotter if u do things such as 3d editing and etc in which others have noted so watch out for that. just use HWMonitor to monitor your temps. it's a free software.

Hello there my friend, sure you can, this is the one I have, and it cools it down very well: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17662/ex-blc-1381/EK_ASUS_Maximus_V_Extreme_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Nickel_Acetal_EK-FB_ASUS_M5E_-_AcetalNickel.html

No. You can use it without water cooling. If you decide to water cool youre mobo. Check out ekwb's custom water block for this mobo.

Yes it will, because the Athlon II x2 uses an AM3 socket which is compatable with this liquid cooling system, it just requires the stock brackets to be removed, and that is easy. There are quite a few YouTube tutorials on it as well.

No,just get this card and you can add your own watercool or other fans then overclock.

I used 5/8 outer diameter and have it cooling a intel xeon and an r9 290. The card never reaches over 35 celsius! Its a great pump/res. Very quiet. Hard to fill, be patient and slow when filling or it will run out due to air blocking the fill port. Also look around for the xspc d5 pump ring (google it). Makes the pump look so much better without pump modding know-how.

Yes, you do, unless your case has a hole or an aperture right behind the mother board's rear socket plate. You have to remove the rear socket plate to put a new one -included- in which the Thermaltake Cooler is going to be anchored

David Swaney, While this system does not ship with a liquid cooling solution, one can easily be added, as the chassis is designed to accept one. Please note that the proper installation of any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

You can use it, but because of the 200+ watt TDP I would go with water cooling. I use a Corsair H100i with great results. Running at 5.2GHZ a core with average temps of 35c. With the Noctua I heard the averages are about 10 degrees higher.

There's no replacement for water cooled. Mine has been working brilliantly, so well my problem now is video card cooling ha ha

The "DC" is for direct cooling. It includes liquid cooling on the gpu to help keep temperatures down. Not a necessity however I prefer to have components staying as cool as possible.

Hi, its not recommended to change the radiator. The cooling capacity should be enough for any graphics card. Best regards, Jens

No, sorry not. The PSU is at the bottom of the tower and if you wish to go liquid cooling, the tank goes towards the top.
